Fascinating exhibits of pottery, fabrics and murals. There is something interesting around each corner. Not a large space, but well worth a visit.

Had some interesting exhibits, but was a pretty quick visit as not tons to see. As someone with very limited Spanish, some of the exhibits had translations but many did not, which limits the appeal somewhat. However it's a cheap ticket and worth looking in if you're in the neighborhood

Wonderful place, I visited the museum one week after the day of the dead, and I found a traditional market where I could see beautiful pieces of art!! ✨👌🏻

Get to know a little about popular culture in Mexico at the Museo Nacional de Culturas Populares (National Museum of Popular Culture). It's an historic building showing temporary exhibitions about popular culture.

Currently there's an exhibition about the alternative arts venue Multiforo Cultural Alicia, an exhibition of work by Felipe Ehrenberg and his inspiration from Mexican culture and a photo series on cultural diversity.

There is an entry fee but it is nominal.

For non-Spanish speakers be away didactics and information is not also displayed in English so have the Google Translate app ready.

Also, you will have to cloak larger bags.

I loved this little museum! This is an easy stop if youre in the area to go to casa azul. The entry is super cheap and so worth the hour or so of your time! The special exhibit was so fascinating, i loved learning more about the punk political scene in cdmx. It was so wonderful to have a museum celebrate the importance of a space like alicia was. The descriptions are only in spanish, as a heads up! Its a little confusing to navigate around the exhibits, dont miss the exhibit after the temporary one! They also had a cute market while i visited, such a nice surprise! Also recommend the bookstore if youre looking for any interesting books or other media in spanish- the topics are quite extensive!

Definitely worth visiting, especially if you’re into visual arts or design. -1 star for the lack of English captions (come on! if your exhibition is related to Alice in Wonderland bilingual captions are the least you can do).

Nice local museum with two temporary exhibitions. Located in the very pleasant neighborhood of Coyoacán. The entry ticket is very cheap (19.50 mexican pesos for 1 adult) and there is no waiting time.
Not a very big museum, so don't expect a long visit there.
